I was just thinking about how most people been hearing America is the number 1 country in the world since they were born. I don't know who the media will blame, but some will start stroking fear.

The average person might not care in the beginning, but once media, and politician starts making people fear I feel people are going to start looking for a "strong man" to save them.

    Look at the UK. It's not like the US is ever going to become completely irrelevant (barring it actually breaking apart). It will still be a powerful, globally significant nation with a massive population, huge and varied supply of natural resources, and powerful military. It'll remain a cultural hub. It just won't be a dominant hegemon able to exert its power at will anywhere that doesn't border China or Russia.
